Built in 1994 Erato is 9.98 mtrs length (33ft 9ins) GRP a very seaworthy, yacht weighing 10.97 tons including Lead keel and very capable of Bluewater Sailing. She is well balanced and sails very well. There is nothing nicer than sailing past larger yachts on the same course. We bought her in Brindisi, Italy in November 2015 after an extensive search of over 6 months. The reason we bought her is that she had just been extensively renovated that year, hull, engine, rigging, rewire and furnishings.
We have schedule showing everything done and cost for parts alone totaling more than £18,000; plus receipt for the purchase of the boat. We had the boat surveyed in (sailing) and out of water by Antonio Balsamo of Naval Balsamo: The value then was 25,000 Euros. Most of the work was completed at Gouvia Marina, Corfu and Nautica Balsamo, Brindisi, Italy by Joe Nathan a Yacht Engineer and Yachtmaster. Joe after professionally skippering and maintaining a large Trimaran for 10 years bought Erato to fit out for his own use. However a change circumstances and plan necessitated a return to UK for Joe.
Which is were we stepped in to buy her after living aboard for a week and sailing, locally plus the survey report. In April 2016 we sailed from Italy to Greece in 'quite lively' conditions. The hull speed is 6.8 knots but my Navionics record shows we achieved 8.6 knots over the ground. I can testify that Erato is extremely seaworthy and feels safe in rough conditions. Since then we have keep her in Greece and have spent over £7,000 on improvements and new equipment.
Principally new tender 2.7mtr, Honda 2.3 outboard, Liferaft, 50 mtrs new 8mm anchor chain plus new gypsy, New Compass, Raymarine Autohelm, Chartplotter with Navionics (silver), Passerelle, Mainsail, Genoa Serviced, Bimini, Sunshade, Dometic hob 3 burners and oven, Solar Panel, Inverter and 3 new Batteries, TV and CD player. Annual maintenance includes, antifouling, engine oil and filter change, new impeller. Fuel topped up to full, polished and treated with Anti Diesel Bug as part of Winterising. A new cutlass bearing was fitted in 2017 and some running gear replaced to improve efficiency. Why did we buy this boat?
Because we wanted something reliable and safe that sails well that we could enjoy living one for several weeks at a time, which is also economical and fitted our budget. Most boat builders cannot afford to make them to this specification now. Modern boats are built to maximize the accomodation as most are built for charter use rather than their sailing qualities, in my opinion. 'You cannot break a Dromor' a yacht engineer from a company who managed a fleet of them, told me once. (Essentially this Dromor is a copy of a Westerly with a sugar scoop added.
Built for seaworthiness, strength and fun in the sun with this stern). The latest picture we have here is 2nd one when last sailed, October 2018. Many of the others are earlier showing less inventory and some as it was when just refurbished. (most of my recent pics are holiday snaps and video). Below at the foot of this page is an extract showing some of the details we have from when we purchased her.
We have much more including the cost of each item. (from this I think you can really tell Joe is an Engineer!). Meanwhile here is my brief description of Erato* and Inventory:- *Erato :- One of the 9 Muses who lived on Mount Olympus, Daughter of Zeus and Goddess of Poetry and Erotic Dance (all Greeks I've met know this).

There is enough to sail comfortably and safely in the Med. *Erato is now in Ionian Marina, Preveza, 10 minutes from Preveza Airport. We will be there from 23rd June to 8th July so we can show you around and put it in water so it can be sailed. Since purchasing Erato we have had a great time living aboard and sailed approximately 30 weeks over the last few years. We are selling at a bargain price for a quick sail as we are in the process of buying a much larger boat which can take us across the Atlantic and ultimately around the world so we need larger fuel and water tanks plus more storage.
Erato could also be ideal for shared ownership as there are great facilities for this especially on Levkas which is just a couple of hours sail away. For more information or pictures please contact me: Mike phone * I can't list without a valid postcode; so had to put mine! Actual is Preveza 481 00 Just a thought if you were to buy this and bring it back to the UK I'm told it would be worth in excess of £20k. I've seen another for sale in Greece but not as nearly as well equipped for over £20K!
